Hi Hannes,

those are all quite big challenges. Every single one of them might take me 1-2 weeks full time, which I do not have at the moment. ;-)

Yes, existing bugs in Flaps should be fixed -- but not re-designed as I proposed -- during the next weeks. That should be doable.

Below is list of ideas you made early January about possible additions for the Squeak 5.3 release. Quite a number of points have been realized.

Could you please mark the one(s) you think which still could be done in the remaining two or three weeks?

I will have a look at it as well in the upcoming days. Good to see your focus on Text widgets / Text paragraph composition.

Maybe we still can do something about the flaps.

@ Tim : what are your preferences?

Kind regards Hannes

Hi Hannes,

I have been taking notes and collecting ideas for the following (unordered / not prioritized / incomplete) list of concerns in Squeak:

• Flaps (code clean-up, conceptual improvements)
• User-input events (extract from Morphic into base system)
• Etoys (code clean-up)
• Text widgets (code clean-up, conceptual improvements)
• Text/paragraph composition (extract from Morphic into base system)
• Tool support for UI-theme design
• Tool support for release manager
• Smart splitters (performance and configurable animation)
• List widgets (drop-down list, multi-selection in any list, multi-column

trees, etc.)

• Error handling for bad Morphic event handlers (similar to drawing errors)
• Object Collection Tool (see inbox "Tool-mt.535"

or http://forum.world.st/The-Inbox-Tools-mt-536-mcz-td4808731.html [http://forum.world.st/The-Inbox-Tools-mt-536-mcz-td4808731.html])

Hi, there.

I would like to continue serving on the Squeak Oversight Board in 2019, too. My main interests encompass user interaction (Morphic), code modularity (readability/extensibility),

What are your suggestions / plans for 5.3 for enhancing the Morphic user interaction expericence?

How do you think better readability of code could be achived?

...

backwards compatibility (Etoys), and programming/productivity tools.

During the past years, it has been a healthy mix of promising ideas, enlightening discussions, and challenging viewpoints. I do value such programming experiences as a great addition to my daily life. Squeak's community is great! Thank you. :-)

Let us continue shaping Squeak for many opportunities to come! It is an intriguing programming system with its liveness promoting exploratory working habits. What a time to be a "programmer". ;-)

Thank you Craig for jumping right in! I would encourage everyone else to follow Craig's lead. I know some people like to wait but the more candidates the better.

The lack of candidates shouldn't be an incentive for people to run and a large number of candidates shouldn't be a reason for you to decide against volunteering to run! We have had some excellent people run and not be elected that would have been terrific members of the board! You show your commitment to Squeak just by running! For those of you that say you don't have the time or are not sure what you would have to do, we have had some excellent answers in the past. There is no requirement or specific demands and the board decides when and how it will meet. Most, if not all, meetings are electronic so the demands on your time are very low! Plus the members are all terrific people you will enjoy working with!

Jump on in and add your name to the candidate list!

Thanks!
